I remember this movie from my childhood. I am happy to watch this show with my kids; unlike other kid's movies where I leave 10 minutes dumber from having watched them. A funny rated G movie that is entertaining; enough said!

Who buys this movie and doesn't already know what it's about?? Actually, I take that back... I was a bit older when I first saw this movie. Like, 7 or 8. If you love the Muppets, nope, take that back too because if you love the muppets then you've already seen this... but if you just LIKE the muppets or have yet to experience a muppet performance then you have to watch this movie and laugh. That is all.

A catchy, toe-tapping little ditty called "Together Again" beckons us back into the realm of Muppetdom. It starts off smooth and easy not unlike Kermit the Frog's banjo prelude to THE MUPPET MOVIE. After graduating college and performing their new big show, "Manhattan Melodies" the Muppet gang is inspired to take their show to Broadway.
But no sooner do they arrive than tough times hit hard, and the Muppets learn that putting their show on Broadway will be much, much more difficult than they had originally thought. Eventually, everyone's nerves are shot, and they part ways. During this time, Kermit gets a job washing dishes in a diner (not the ideal job of someone who wants to be a Broadway star) and works harder than ever, often failing, before he can get everyone together again (just try to suppress that theme) and get the show rolling. All throughout, there is the typical Muppet humor, hijinks, and great an memorable songs, including "I'm Always Gonna Love You" during a sequence which became the inspiration for the popular 80s Saturday morning cartoon, MUPPET BABIES.
I love this movie primarily because it teaches kids (or anyone who sees it) that nothing worthwhile comes free. The Muppets had to work extra, extra hard, endure times of not getting along, and more than once being on the verge of giving up before they saw their dream become a reality.
Probably the song from MANHATTAN that means the most to me is the soft and melodic ballad "Saying Goodbye" which the Muppets sing in the first half of the film while parting each other's company. This song is ingrained in my mind because I remember when I was a teenager watching ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, they played that song and that sequence in tribute to the passing of Jim Henson.
I wish there were a remastered soundtrack of this movie available on CD.

The seller received payment but never sent the product "The Muppets Take Manhatten". I received strange emails having nothing to do with the order and no response to my questions. The seller seems an unstable individual. Hope I can get my money back. Not a good experience at all. This seller should be removed from doing business through Amazon.

I was a four-year-old tot when this movie came out. I remember watching it in the movies, but I only remember seeing a few scenes while there. When it came to video a year later, I remember watching it over and over, grossing my family members out. They liked it too, but it's hard to like it when one of your number is obsessing over it. My favorite part is probably when Kermit and Jenny are jogging in Central Park and Piggy's purse gets snatched. That sequence, leading up to the wagon ride and the Muppet Babies' song has always been so cool tome. And, the amnesia part where Kermit thinks he's part of a marketing agency is both cute and clever.
Two of the great things about this DVD are that you have a choice of aspect ratio, both wide and full, plus a collection of nifty interviews with the late, great Jim Henson about his work and the Muppets. Watching it sparks memories and opens up other vistas (including when you watch it in widescreen). If you don't have it, get it. (I think I said something like that in another review.)
